The National tribune., 1887-07-14

Most any day when IL is fairi
Dye see those vessels in the bay?
watch them all the live long day;
wish we had spy glass here.
To watcn the ships when il Is Clear"
The day fair and beautiful;
The calm blue sky above Us spread
Seemed like blessing on our head;
We nearer seemed TO Heaven and God,
As there above the town we stood,
Aud saw the pleasant, hPppy land,
gilt OF Heaven from Gods right hand
IL seemed as If no strife could come
DER this fair land of ours again,
, 10 bring the blight, disease and death,
Ihat follow in wars dreadful train.
Osilver stars in fields of bluel
May thy pure light a beacon be,
To guide our good ship safely through
